Subject: Marker Makers Shorting Bullitin Board Stocks
Please adopt the proposed rule that prohibits market makers from shorting
bulletin board stocks without there first being an up-tick in price and
without first being required to borrow the stock like the rest of us.
It appears that market makers are currently able to significantly manipulate
bulletin board stock's price. Additional regulation is necessary to stop
this abuse.
Thank you,
